Mol-turned-actrs Rebec Gayheart first me to natnal promence as "The Noxzema Girl," the pretty, h-faced spokmol for Noxzema brand sk products. Blsed wh wholome bety, a flawls plexn, and a tramark mane of extremely curly hair, the photogenic Gayheart qu molg the mid-90s to try her hand at actg. As wh many a young génue before her, Gayheart started her reer daytime before graduatg to primetime, culmatg her biggt role then to date, as Le Perry's doomed Mafia bri on "Beverly Hills, 90201" (Fox, 1990-2000). By 's end, Gayheart had accumulated an imprsive list of televisn creds and seemed well on her way. Unfortunately, the actrs's promisg reer was badly railed 2001 as the rult of a personal tragedy. Thankfully, Gayheart would persevere and followg a tragic accint, fd personal happs a high-profile marriage to Dr. McSteamy himself, actor Eric Dane of "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 2005- ) before the uple spl 2018. A real-life Kentucky al mer's dghter, Rebec Gayheart was born on Aug. 12, 1971. The product of Irish, Italian, German and Cherokee Indian herage, Gayheart moved to New York Cy at the age of 15, where she pleted her tn at New York's Profsnal Children's School. An alumni of the famed Lee Strasberg Instute, Gayheart got her big actg break 1993, when she land the role of the betiful but emotnally disturbed temptrs Hannah Mayberry on the daytime sudser, "Lovg" (ABC, 1983-1995). Gayheart's Hannah stalked llege profsors as her favored prey and beme one of the most lic fixtur the soap's last two seasons. Hot off her daytime succs - and wh her famo Noxzema ads featured promently on TV and prt at that time - Gayheart was poised for the leap to primetime. In 1995, Gayheart won a recurrg role on the inic Fox h, "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990-2000) as Dylan (Le Perry) McKay's long-awaed soul mate (and eventual bri) Toni Marchette. A popular character wh "90210" fans, Gayheart's Toni quickly won the hearts of viewers, before beg tragilly killed off eight episos later, takg a btal mob h meant for Dylan. The reason, as turned out, was that actor Le Perry had been chg to leave "90210" to pursue the clichéd film reer; so, rather than kill off the extremely popular Dylan, producers promised by providg him an open-end ex storyle which he would take an extend leave of absence to avenge his bri's murr. In other words, Toni Marchette's mise was planned om the very get-go. The dawn of the new lennium saw Gayheart's star ntug to rise, wh rol such popular teen feature films as "Scream 2" (1997) and "Urban Legend" (1998). She was also briefly st as a seri regular on the well-received, but short-lived WB drama, "" (1999) - an ensemble drama created by "Scream" screenwrer Kev Williamson. Unfortunately, Gayheart's personal and profsnal life both took a precipoly downward turn at the same time she was enjoyg a certa level of post "90210" succs. In the summer of 2001, Gayheart stck and subsequently killed a ne-year-old boy named Je Cz Jr. as the latter was walkg home om school. Acrdg to police reports, Cz had crossed the street about 150 to 175 feet om the neart crosswalk. While several rs stopped to let him pass, Gayheart reportedly swerved around them and turned directly to a two-way left-turn lane. In her impatience, Gayheart stck the Cz boy wh her r. Sufferg om cril ternal juri, young Cz died the next day at Los Angel Children's Hospal. The boy's parents subsequently filed a wrongful ath su agast Gayheart. In rtutn, Gayheart agreed to pay for Cz's hospal and funeral expens and plead no ntt to vehicular manslghter on Nov. 27, 2001. The actrs was sentenced to three years probatn, a one-year spensn of her license, a $2,800 fe, and 750 hours of muny service. Reprented by high-profile Hollywood lawyer Harland Brn (who also fend actor Robert Blake), Gayheart's sweetheart al was viewed by many crics as merely a slap on the wrist. To make matters worse, on the heels of this embarrassg mea culpa, Gayheart returned to the headl later that year followg yet another unfortunate to accint which she flipped her rental r to two parked vehicl. Luckily, no one was jured or killed this time and no charg were filed. After a long and humblg dry spell, horizons looked signifintly brighter for Gayheart by mid-. In 2004, Gayheart won a recurrg role on the crilly acclaimed drama "Nip/Tuck" (FX, 2003-10). Cast the show's send season as a betiful bld patient named Rebec Charl, Gayheart's disarmgly sensual character beme a romantic tert for Julian McMahon's Dr. Christian Troy. Though her storyle nclud that season, Gayheart's character (who was eventually cured of her bldns) was brought back for the show's fourth season to add some much-need romantic spice. Gayheart's personal life also unrwent a posive transformatn that year. In October of 2004, Gayheart married her boyiend of ne months, fellow actor Eric Dane, while vatng Las Vegas, NV. So spontaneo was the uple's cisn to wed, a taxi driver was reced to serve as Dane's bt man.

"Dr. McSteamy") on the über-h "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 2005- ), thstg Gayheart proudly to the role of Mrs. McSteamy the prs. Gayheart largely retired om actg followg her marriage, appearg the TV movi "The Christmas Blsg" (CBS 2005) and "Srlett" (2006) and appearg a small recurrg role the sgle-season drama "Vanished" (Fox 2006).
